Prolific recitalist, Soheil Nasseri, vowed to perform all Beethoven’s works for piano by 2020.He’s already 28-out-of-32 on the piano sonatas, but, on Thursday, we were treated to “trifles”: Beethoven’s Seven Bagatelles.And he began with Schumann. But then Nasseri warned: “If you have hearing aids, turn them off now.”

Hear that in a concert, and you’re almost guaranteed to be treated to some “sneak preview” premiere.Two works by composer Samir Odeh-Tamimi. Don’t know him?Me neither. He’s a Palestinian Israeli composer calling Berlin’s Avant-Garde home.Accordingly, Nasseri apologized as he sat down: “I hope that not too many of you leave.”
